Harry Styles music video released on Friday will shine a spotlight on Cockenzie and Port Seton
The former One Direction star released the trailer for new single 'Adore You' which shows scenes filmed at Port Seton Harbour, Cockenzie High Street and in the Thorntree Inn, all in East Lothian.
He was also seen filming in the fishing village of St Abbs in Berwickshire, which also features in blockbuster film Avengers: Endgame as the site of New Asgard.

A website and social media account for Eroda mysteriously appeared online drawing the attention of eagle-eyed fans who drew similarities between the stars' recent movements and the apt timing of the accounts appearing.
Eroda's website lists pubs and hiking trails as some of the fishing island’s attractions.
"The Isle has four villages: Garona being the largest and primary port as well as the island’s capital. Marmoton, Martin’s Heaven and Yuna are the other major population centres.”

Staff were suspicious that it was the former One Direction singer but didn’t know for sure until the trailer for his single was released online on Monday.
A staff member at the pub told the East Lothian Courier: “We have no idea why out of everywhere they ended up coming here but at least it's putting Cockenzie and Port Seton on the map.
“The security on the day was very tight. I had to give my car registration number to someone to get into the street and then I had a security sticker put over my phone so that my camera couldn’t be used.

A spokesperson for LS Productions said: "After working with Harry Styles on his first solo video ‘Sign of the Times’ it was great to welcome him and his team back to Scotland.
"We shot the video in and around Cockenzie, Port Seton and St Abbs, with the areas providing the perfect setting for the mythical Isle of Eroda."
The music video and new song will be released in full on Friday 6 December and his new album Fine Line will be released on 13 December.
